modern art galleries. Generally the starting point is Stockbridge

Highlights along the way: Dean Village lies beneath Thomas Telford's
famous Dean Bridge and is a fascinating blend of old and new
architecture was a former centre of milling reaching back to the 12th
century The area has a bit of a storybook feel to it with its quirky old
buildings overlooking the Water of Leith and its bridges and winding
pathways. Walk along the Water of Leith towards nearby Stockbridge and
you'll come across St Bernard's Well with its faux temple. Or, if you
head in the other direction, you’re just a short walk from the National
